Meet Your Peninsula Area Captain
Peninsula Area Captain - National Academy of Athletics
The NAofA team serving Peninsula is passionate about creating meaningful youth sports experiences that help kids grow stronger, more confident, and more connected to their community.
Missy Bradley
I was born and raised in the Bay Area and grew up playing a variety of sports. I’m a married mother of 4 and have loved to pass on my passion for sports to my kids.
Sports have been important to me since I was a kid. I have always enjoyed being a part of a team, and sports were a great chance to do that. Growing up I played softball, basketball, volleyball, track, and cheerleading. Now I get to enjoy seeing my children play sports and enjoy the same experiences I did.
Managing Sports camps is my dream job. Making sure every coach and camp counselor is there to follow the mission of NAofA is crucial. The NAofA encourages campers to grow as both athletes and individuals. We prioritize teamwork, perseverance, problem-solving, self-confidence, and responsibility in every activity, and most importantly we play hard and have fun!
